Abstract
An electrical device of a network of electrical devices can include an auto-commissioning device having a transceiver and an auto-commissioning engine, where the transceiver communicates with an adjacent transceiver of an adjacent electrical device, where the auto-commissioning engine, based on communication between the transceiver and the adjacent transceiver, identifies and commissions the adjacent electrical device.
Claims20
An electrical device of a network of electrical devices, comprising:
- an auto-commissioning device comprising a transceiver and an auto-commissioning engine, wherein the transceiver communicates with an adjacent transceiver of an adjacent electrical device, wherein the auto-commissioning engine, based on communication between the transceiver and the adjacent transceiver, identifies and commissions the adjacent electrical device.
A system comprising:
- a first electrical device comprising a first auto-commissioning system, wherein the first auto-commissioning system comprises a first transceiver;
- and
- a second electrical device comprising a second auto-commissioning system, wherein the second auto-commissioning system comprises a second transceiver,
- wherein the second transceiver broadcasts a first communication, wherein the first communication comprises a first identification of the second electrical device,
- wherein the first transceiver of the first electrical device receives the first communication,
- wherein the first transceiver, in response to the first communication, broadcasts a first reply communication, wherein the first reply communication comprises commissioning parameters and the first identification of the second electrical device,
- wherein the second electrical device uses the first reply communication to become commissioned.
A method for commissioning a plurality of electrical devices, the method comprising:
- receiving commissioning parameters;
- receiving a first communication from a first electrical device, wherein the first communication comprises a first identification of the first electrical device, and wherein the first electrical device is in a first mode;
- and
- sending, in response to the first communication, a first reply communication to the first electrical device, wherein the first reply communication comprises the first identification of the first electrical device and the commissioning parameters,
- wherein the first electrical device is commissioned according to the commissioning parameters,
- wherein the first electrical device exits the first mode and enters a second mode after processing the first reply communication.
